Halloween Party Candy Corn Banner

Candy corn banner

When it comes to decorating for Halloween, I prefer fun decorations over scary and gory Halloween decorations. This candy corn Halloween party banner is so cute and super simple to make. It's as easy as painting and cutting paper plates. This would be a fun craft for kids to do, too. (Can I just mention here how much I miss having little kids around to do these kinds of projects!)

Supplies Needed:

Paper plates

Yellow and orange paint

paint brush

scissors

ribbon or twine

First, paint the outside of the plate orange. The pattern on the plate makes a good guide and helps to make nice even circles. Let the orange paint dry before painting the inside circle yellow. That way the paint won't smear or run together. Leave the center of the plate white.

When the paint is dry, cut the plate in half. Then cut the halves in half again. You should have eight equal pieces that look like candy corn.

I tried using a paper hole punch and threading the twine though the candy corn, but I didn't like the way it looked. I ended up just taping the paper plate pieces to the twine. I used twine for the banner, but ribbon would look good too.

I don't like the gore of Halloween, either. We don't really decorate for Halloween- just Fall in general, but I love the candy corn banner! My boys would love putting this together :) Visiting from Whimsy Wednesdays!

These look so great!! I can't believe you made them out of paper plates. Great work. I'm hosing a state art giveaway that you should enter! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/10/state-art-giveaway-from-word-lust.html

Candy corn is perfect for a pennant banner. Great idea. Love the simplicity of using paper plates. Our weekly Super Saturday Link Party is live. We would love to have you join us with any of your great ideas. It would make us so happy to have you on board. http://www.madefrompinterest.net/2013/10/super-saturday-link-party-14/

Ah, I can't believe this cute banner came from a paper plate. You did such a good job and I seriously LOVE your banner. I want to make one to hang up with the banner I already have hanging on my mantel. Thank you for sharing how you made this and for linking up to Thrifty Thursday.

That's so cute, and so easy to make! I've been on the look out for new ways to decorate since my 2 year old has really gotten into Halloween. He loves all the decorations. Visiting from the A Round Tuit linky party.

I LOVE this! It has so many things that make it the perfect craft. It's cute, it's simple to make and it is extremely frugal. With all the going for it, it was simple for me to make it the Dare to Share Feature of the Day.. :) You can see your feature here. http://www.pamspartyandpracticaltips.com/2013/10/candy-corn-banner-feature-of-day.html Thanks so much for linking up!
